Hello and happy New Year! Did you happen to see the announcement last week on the Copic Blog about the 12 new colors coming this year for CHA next month? Here they are!
G43 Pistachio, G46 Mistletoe, BG57 Jasper, BG90 Gray Sky, E84 Khaki, E89 Pecan
BV34 Bluebell, V22 Ash Lavender, V28 Eggplant, RV52 Cotton Candy, R56 Currant, YR27 Tuscan Orange
I wanted to do a comparison for you, so you can see where they fit into the existing Copic color spectrum. Here's the first batch:
And the rest (edited to add corrected photo -- RV52 is the new color and should be shown on the left side; RV55 was an existing color):
Beautiful, aren't they?!! I'll have some coloring samples for you later this week. And the answer to the question I know you all have: They will be available in February 2012 in Sketch marker style as well as Various Ink Refills, bringing the total Copic color count to 358!
What is your favorite new color?
Jasper, we so needed this color! Love the new colors and cannot wait to get my hands on them. Thanks for the sneek peek!

V22 is my fav. but I love them all. I am relatively new using Copics but I am enjoying the learning process and appreciate all you do on your blog to tell us what colors you use. Happy New Year.

I have to pick a FAVORITE?? That's like picking between my children! If I must...I'd say E89 and R56 are my top 2. Can't wait till they come live with me!

Thanks for stepping them out for us to see the color families.
It is mean to make us choose a favorite.
I love Bluebell, or maybe Tuscan Orange, or maybe the Ash Lavender or maybe ...
I can't really choose. I just know I want 'em all. *sigh*
Posted by: Kathi R | January 01, 2012 at 09:20 PM
I don't think I can pick a favorite . i want them all!!!
Posted by: Cheryl | January 01, 2012 at 09:39 PM
All I can say is I need these new colors to help fill up my new Copic bag but if I had to pick my favorite color it would be Jasper because I love blue. Also Jasper was my husband's favorite place to go here in the Rockies!!
Posted by: Jackie Smith | January 01, 2012 at 10:04 PM
I like Pistachio!
Posted by: Connie Pruitt | January 01, 2012 at 10:14 PM
Love the greens! Both of the new ones are perfect!
Posted by: Donna Hitz | January 01, 2012 at 10:31 PM
Oh so hard to pick but I think I'd say Dim Green. I can't wait until they are all available! Oh how I love grownup toys!!
Posted by: terri d | January 01, 2012 at 11:19 PM
I think Khaki and Currant will be favorites. Thanks for showing us their spots in the color lineup.

I'm new to copic, anyone have a suggestion for the first 10 I should purchase? I like all of the above but need to spread my purchase over the range.

Pistacio and Tuscan Orange--but can't wait to buy them all!!! I love it when they 'fill in the gaps' for us!

Sharon, thanks for sharing the new color chart. Love the new colors and my favorite is a toss up between G46 and R56. Think I'll use those 2 a lot. But they're all great. Edna
